MrE26 is right there. The BBFC *really* need to start wording stuff properly to avoid this confusion. One time they used to put notes like "This is cut as per the UK cinema version" but they dont seem to do that now.

So blu ray and DVD arrives uncut on homevideo. Good job by the BBFCI'm afraid all that means is that the version submitted was the UK theatrical version, & requires no further cuts for DVD release. The uncut US theatrical version has a seperate listing, is 10 seconds longer & was given a 15 rating.

The extended cut of The Da Vinci Code is a 15 on Blu-ray though, so I doubt it has any of the BBFC changes. It will be the same for the extended cut of Angels & Demons since it too has a 15 rating on the Blu-ray cover.

I would expect it is only the UK version which was cut as most other countries take a more relaxed attitude to violence at the 12A or similar rating level.

Very well said, thank you. I would agree - most cuts that are made following BBFC advice only usually apply to UK releases. Da Vinci Code, Casino Royale, etc. However sometimes thats not always the case (Quantum of Solace) but its rare.

Taken from the BBFC listing of the film

"This work was passed with no cuts made. During post-production, the distributor sought and was given advice on how to secure the desired classification. Following this advice, certain changes were made prior to submission ."

Therefore Sony pre-cut before submission knowing it would not get a 12A in the UK. The question then becomes was it cut specifically for the UK, like Casino Royale etc. at the pre-certification stage or was this for the global version.

I would expect it is only the UK version which was cut as most other countries take a more relaxed attitude to violence at the 12A or similar rating level.

I only ever pay a few pounds more and its worth it. Also, if you wait a few months they are the same price anyway. So true - even now I have noticed that down under a hell of a lot of BD's have dropped at least $5 recently...
